Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

The noise was mixed with many terrified screams.

He did not kill everyone.

But one thing is certain: starting tonight, the underground boxing ring will cease to exist.

Chapter 247 I Became an Anime Character?

Before the Evolution Game even arrived, Division 001 had already achieved political unification.

After the arrival of the Evolution Game, with the continuous emergence of players, society entered an initial chaotic phase.

The royal family at the time recruited players from all over the world and formed the "First Airborne Special Forces" to handle matters related to the Evolution game.

In the early days, the Special Operations Legion used shoulder patches in three colors—black, white, and gray—to distinguish the three categories of players.

The royal family later realized that doing so was not only politically correct and would cause serious discrimination problems, but also detrimental to harmony and exacerbated conflicts between different types of players.

As a result, after a round of reforms, the shoulder epaulets on the uniforms of the members of the Special Operations Corps were all changed to a noble and pure white.

They are jokingly referred to as "white shoulder patches" by the public and other players.

This department has continued to this day, with little change in its functions. However, after several rounds of expansion, it has become the "No.1" law enforcement force.

Sometimes, the power of discourse can rival that of the military.

The current leaders are even A-level players.

Of course, players only make up a very small fraction of the vast population.

Although in today's 001 district, the potions that can turn people into evolved beings are already widely available and not very expensive.

But only a minority of people have the courage to voluntarily inject themselves with the drug and become players.

After all, going into a dungeon... can really kill you!

Therefore, the "white shoulder patch" is a very strong force overall, but not many people are involved, making it a law enforcement agency with elite attributes.

They usually only dispatch personnel to handle serious player-related crimes.

11:45 in the evening.

147 Wayne Street.

In front of the small square that was cordoned off.

After watching the last hearse leave, Svetlana took the cigarette out of her mouth, a fleeting spark appeared in her hand, and the remaining half of the cigarette turned to ash and was blown away by the wind.

A moment later, a huge husky seemed to leap out of the ground as if it had burrowed underground, and jumped in front of Svina.

The husky quickly shrunk in size and changed shape, transforming into a young man wearing a white epaulette work uniform and a pair of dog ears on his head.

Sivina brushed a strand of her wind-blown black and red-streaked hair behind her ear and asked the dog-eared youth, "How was the harvest?"

“Not very ideal.”

The dog-eared youth replied, "15 people died and 67 survived, making a total of 82 people, but the spirit that remains far exceeds that number."

"How many?" Svetlana asked curiously. "Is this a gang operation?"

"It could be a gang crime, or it could be for some other reason."

The dog-eared youth said, "Some of the scattered spirits are too weak for me to smell clearly, but roughly speaking... there should be more than a hundred of them."

As a B-rank demi-human player, a canine gene within him has evolved to a considerably advanced level.

It can overcome physical limitations and smell the "spiritual" scent of a person.

"More than one hundred..."

Svetlana looked slightly surprised and asked, "If it was a gang crime, then more than 18 people were involved?"

"There were no signs of combat left at the scene; it was a complete stomp, so it can be basically confirmed that it was done by a high-level player."

"Don't tell me there are 18 high-level players here."

She glanced at the entrance of the underground boxing ring, a hint of disdain in her eyes: "This bunch of trash, do they really deserve the attention of 18 high-level players?"

"Many of the dead were nobles," the dog-eared youth reminded him.

"They're all 'breeding pigs' responsible for producing offspring for the family. How different are they from real pigs in terms of status?"

Sivina waved her hand dismissively and said, "The real elite circles don't associate with them. If you're interested, I'll take you to see them next time."

“Let’s deal with this case first,” the dog-eared youth sighed. “Even if their status isn’t high, a nobleman is still a nobleman. If there’s a problem, we have to find out the truth.”

"It's nothing more than putting on a show."

Svina remained nonchalant, then got back to business, saying, "I still don't quite believe these trash players are worth more than 18 high-level players getting involved. Do you think it could be due to talent or the influence of items?"

Yes, and it's very likely.

"Is it possible to track down the killer?"

"It won't work. They... or rather, they're very cautious. The lingering spirit of theirs only remains in the underground boxing ring; once you come out, it's gone."

The dog-eared youth judged, "The other party has a strong ability to control their mind, and can completely prevent their mental scent from escaping, just like an ordinary person covering their body odor with clothes."

"So," Svina said thoughtfully, "those lingering smells from the underground boxing ring were deliberately left behind by the other side?"

"It's very possible!"

The dog-eared youth said, "All the dead were brain dead; there were no abnormalities in their bodies."

"Given that the perpetrators can kill so silently, and that some of them are even C-level players, what do you think the probability is that we will receive a call for help from the victim under such circumstances?"

"You mean..."

Sivina realized: "Heh, that's arrogant enough! But... the other party certainly has the right to be arrogant."

"Mental-based players are the weirdest! And if they're high-level players too... I really don't want to run into them!"

"It seems that this matter can only be done as a formality."

Thinking of this, she reminded him, "You've remembered the other person's aura. If you encounter them again and recognize them, be careful and don't act rashly."

"No, they shouldn't recognize him."

The dog-eared youth shook his head: "Since these flavors were deliberately left behind by the other party, there is a possibility that they are fake."

"They just want us to know about them... or rather, to know about their existence, while avoiding us. It's obvious they want to hide their identity."

"The purpose of doing this is either to show off or... to serve as a warning."

"It should be a warning."

Svina snorted and said, "These boars did go a bit too far. It's normal that they were killed by those who couldn't stand it and were used as a warning to other nobles to restrain themselves."

At this moment, the remaining members of the special operations team who had gone to the underground boxing ring to search for various details came out from the entrance.

One of the tall, muscular men approached Sivina and said, "Captain Si, just as you predicted, this place is indeed equipped with well-hidden surveillance equipment."

"Hmph, there's no such thing as a secret that stays hidden forever."

Sivina sneered, "Coming to a place like this to participate in such filth is a weakness that will be exposed, and some people will always risk seizing on it."

"How's the surveillance going?" the dog-eared youth asked.

“Not ideal, Captain Yang.” The tall, strong man shook his head: “Aside from the normal footage, the rest are just some inexplicable blurry images, with no valuable intelligence.”

"As expected."

The dog-eared youth sighed, "Powerful mental strength can even distort magnetic fields and interfere with light. With such powerful mental abilities, there's no reason why the opponent couldn't do that."

“This is actually quite good,” Svina said. “If they really found out something and sent us to handle it, that would be a real problem!”

She didn't shy away from saying things that sounded like she was "cowardly" in front of others.

As the team captain, any disobedient members were kicked out long ago.

The rest of the people were all her trusted confidants.

Upon hearing this, the vice-captain, the dog-eared youth, sighed and said, "Since a nobleman has died, we must investigate and get to the bottom of this, otherwise we will face a lot of pressure."

He paused, then looked at Sivina and said, "Captain Si, apply for the right to use 'Truth Surpasses All'."

"Truth transcends everything" is a special prop.

Its function is just like its name suggests: as long as it is activated at the right place and the right time, it can designate a case and reveal part of its truth.

The truth will then be conveyed to the mind of the prop user in the form of "animation".

It's like taking a certain period of history, using metaphors, and then adapting it into an animation to present it.

This item does not have direct lethality, but because it involves time and space attributes, its level is very high, reaching A-level.

Even with Svetlana's influence, he wouldn't have the right to apply for the use of this prop in a regular case.

High-level items with special functions unrelated to attack or defense are extremely rare.

When a player dies, their items will be recycled by the game.

In other words, there is a risk of permanently losing the item.

We will never use this unless it is a major case.

"This involves the death of a nobleman, so it's certainly worth trying to apply, but..."

Sivina shook her head and said, "The other party is a high-level player. Even without relying on items, a high-level player can temporarily change their body shape and appearance simply by relying on their evolution rate."

"Given their caution, they certainly wouldn't use their true appearance to kill someone."

"The altered appearance, then displayed through a two-dimensional screen... with two layers of weakening, it's estimated that we won't get any valuable intelligence."

"As long as we can figure out a few of the other party's characteristics, we can issue a bounty. A high-level player like this with a mental focus is fully qualified to be on the game government's wanted list."

The dog-eared youth said, "The rest of the pursuit and suppression work is not our task."

"Oh? Not bad, Xiao Yang, you've finally learned to be more tactful."

Svina nodded with great satisfaction and said, "High-level mental players like this are the most difficult to deal with. It would be unwise to provoke them for some trashy breeding pigs."

"Let's do it your way. I'll apply for the props later. You'll be in charge of handling the follow-up."

"Yes, Captain."

The young man with dog ears nodded solemnly.

……

Noon the next day.

The dog-eared youth knocked on the door of Sivina's office.

After receiving a response, he opened the door and went inside, handing a tablet to Sivina, who was leisurely enjoying afternoon tea, and said, "We have the results. This is the prop footage we replicated. Captain Si, take a look."

"Ah."

After taking the tablet, Sivina tapped it with her finger, and the animation started playing.

A mysterious man dressed in black and wearing a black hat, his face shrouded in shadow, strolled through the dimly lit underground boxing ring.

"whee……"

A childlike laugh rang out.

It was clearly the voice of a little girl.

Immediately afterwards, a little girl appeared next to the mysterious man.

"whee……"

A second burst of laughter followed.

A second little girl appeared.

Then came the third, the fourth...

As the mysterious man continued his journey, the number of little girls appearing around him increased.

Some of them sat on the mysterious man's shoulders, some held his hands, and some hugged his waist... The relationship between the two seemed very intimate, and the little girls seemed to be acting coquettishly.

Then, other people appeared in the frame.

Suddenly, the little girls transformed into hideous demons and pounced on the people.

The screen started to turn red, as if blood was overflowing from it.
